  12. Marlborough Roads Structure

  13. NOC Conversion • Marlborough Roads converted its three existing contracts • Subsequently an un incorporated JV - HEB Construction Limited and Opus International Consultants • The Emergency Procedures and Preparedness Plan: defines the roles, practices and procedures in preparation for and during an incident response event. • NOC – Incident Response Maintenance Specification section 5 and 6 • Any event such as accidents, spillages, floods, fires….. • Responding to crashes and other events • Typical works include: • Assisting police and emergency services – TM and clean up • Repairing and make safe the road assets • Removal live animals and abandoned vehicles • Slip removal

  14. Incident Management to Date: • We have managed several incidents since the conversion. • Earthquakes in July and August 2013 • Several storm events on the local road network, which resulted in twenty or so road closures and diversions • Landslips

  15. Incident Management to Date: • In August 2013 we encountered a significant earthquake magnitude 6.6 depth of 8km • The earthquake, including significant aftershocks, was centred on Lake Grassmere Roads and bridges in that area suffering significant damage. • SH 1 was closed for approximately 18hrs as a number of large slips were cleared • Bridge approaches were levelled and cracking repaired. • To compound problems heavy rain following the earthquake made emergency repairs difficult and caused additional damage, slips, surface flooding etc.

  16. Earthquake Response 16/08/2013 • Was not declared as a Civil Defence Emergency • The event was managed by the Marlborough Emergency Management Team at the MEM centre • Marlborough Emergency Management operates under the “Coordinated Incident Management Systems (CIMS)

CIMS In Practice • Journey Manager based at the MEM centre communicating with Marlborough Roads team • Marlborough Roads Team co-ordinated works out in the field with the JV • Journey Manager keeping Incident Controller aware of what is happening in the field • Journey Manager briefing both the Mayor and the Highway Manager for hourly press releases
